Replacing the screen-glass and digitizer will fix it. I have done a number of these. Easy way is to replace the glass digitizer is using one part module of glass with digitizer bonded. Be careful handling the LCD. Do not bend to force it when you swap to new glass and digitizer. You can get mysterious areas on them (LCD) that look like circular burn marks from mishandling=shot. You have to scrape off the old glass and reuse the bezel by heating with heat gun or even blow dryer to loosen the glue. New unit has tape to adhere to bezel. You can use a pre-assembled ready to go front/bezel with the home button and just add the LCD except many/most of the aftermarket 3rd party home buttons feel cheap or even loose and not of the same quality.
